just to give yall an idea of what we’re walking through

A Pot Is Not a Gentleman: Cultivating Humanity in the Age of A.I.

Was in the McDonald's drive-thru and saw this absolute masterpiece

It's a good afternoon to curl up on the couch and watch @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social youtu.be/ALbBUTHrAQE

i subscribed to the red zone channel in order to hear the latest about draftkings, but i'd conservatively estimate that 75% of the broadcast has nothing to do with draftkings. they keep trying to shoehorn in all these football games. i don't like football. i don't watch football. what is this shit

Lando Norris achieves the ultimate: defector.com/lando-norris...

redzone more like deadzone boom got em

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

anyone else receiving the secret signals encoded in the redzone static

Florida only had three FBS wins this year. There are three teams in the 12-team playoff that lost to teams Florida beat.

EFF has long warned about police use of facial recognition technology. Now we're seeing exactly what we feared: Axon is testing this tech in body-worn cameras. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

this yokel on ESPN right now is claiming that the results of a football game played 100 days ago is more important than the results of a football game played yesterday

so there are different colleges? i always heard people say “going to college,” which made it sound like there was just one of them, like “going to france” or something. but if there are lots of different colleges they need to come up with different names and colors and such so we can tell them apart

Online shopping surveillance bots need to learn the difference between “you keep clicking on that shirt every few weeks because you must really want it” and “you keep clicking on that shirt every few weeks because you keep forgetting and rediscovering it’s polyester”

good moment for canada to recognize european and japanese vehicles standards so we too can get small, affordable cars again

Somehow, every week, I forget that Sunday morning is when lying, disingenuous politicians go on TV news shows to be interviewed by ill-prepared, journalists who don't ever hold anyone's feet to the fire. And then I wake up and it's clips galore. Why is this a thing?

should have put Duke in the playoffs over Bama cowards

the same pharmaceutical ad was just on all eight NFL broadcasts at the same time

My argument against the playoff from its introduction is that it's the only postseason in college sports that doesn't offer a bid to every conference champion and that remains true

Fun that that this country is burning down because a handful of emotionally stunted dudes were furious they can’t get laid without living up to the low bar standard of “don’t be a fucking weirdo”

Genuinely don’t know why i keep giving CHO second third fourh fifth twenty-third chances

Mamdani releases video overviewing Know Your Rights if you see ICE + promises to protect New Yorkers and the right to protest, specifically in response to anti-ICE action last Saturday that stopped a massive raid. Comes following question from me asking for his comment on that action.

It was obvious from the beginning that every expansion from a No. 1 v. No. 2 bowl showdown meant that a.) inferior teams would get in and b.) there'd be less and less defensible difference between the teams just above and just below the cutoff

did he really plonk his hideous participation trophy right on the desk, we truly live in the stupidest timeline

Funny how that worked out: “Russia has welcomed US President Donald Trump's new National Security Strategy, calling it ‘largely consistent’ with Moscow's vision.” bbc.com/news/article...

This whole thread but esp this

Well, Joe, Mark Zuckerberg has sole control over Facebook, which directly enabled the Rohingya genocide. So let’s have the conversation.

This is some aggressive BS that they think is going to work for them? You only don’t like spending a mortgage on healthcare, daycare and/or college each month because those canny Democrats are so good at messaging!

Bulb went boom. By my math it pulled 120x inrush current which given I was screwing the thing in direct to contact and it’s an old bulb exposed to weather is not THAT weird

Fernando Mendoza and Indiana are the flippin’ Big Ten champs! defector.com/fernando-men...

If there's something that changes "Donald is just doing whatever the last guy who got close enough to grease his palm or pride told him to do," it would be Cueller clowning him like this, if that's indeed the case.

has anyone ever actually gotten campaign texts to stop

The Quad God performs another miracle: defector.com/the-quad-god...

Hmmm. We need to justify murdering civilians for no other reason than that we have the opportunity to do it. **Tom Cotton bursts through the door** "Where's the camera, boys?"

It is legitimately funny that Trump expected to be picking up another Republican seat in Texas in exchange for a pardon, and Cuellar was just like "nah." So rare to see someone treat Trump like he treats everyone else. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

"Alejandro was murdered. This is not how a civilized nation should act, just murdering people on the high seas without proof, without trial."

In the mood for a smidge of hope? Here's a deep dive into the variety of ways the president's current authoritarian overreach is meeting blowback.

It might be snowy but we’re still knocking doors!!! Come join our second shift at Winnemac Park at 1 PM!

I refuse to hand it to Cuellar but this is hysterical is there no honor among comically corrupt politicians? what is the world coming to?!

One hundred percent and then they immediately go off crying to their mommies about it, except now the stand-ins for their mommies are people like Bari Weiss

WRONG!....oh wait, no, this is completely correct and something we all used to believe

"a lot of space" in new york city means I have room for a christmas tree and just have to figure out how to temporarily re-arrange my furniture

Testing light bulbs and one of these just blew a 20A breaker WITH NOTHING ELSE ON THE CIRCUIT

Not only will your donation get an instant dollar-for-dollar match this week, but you can also get EFF's newest member t-shirt as a token of our thanks! eff.org/power-up

in august i posted: "when the dust settles on this football season, the indiana hoosiers will be the top-ranked team in the nation, and the colts, led by daniel jones, will be a super bowl contender! it's all coming up indiana! i am jon." unfortunately, this post was deleted by a computer spam virus

Not that I have a ton of sympathy for Olivia Nuzzi but this is insane framing: "Woman who complained about privacy violations gets her privacy violated." nypost.com/2025/12/03/u...

it's good that we have hellfire missiles to defend ourselves from two guys hanging on to a capsized boat, who knows what might have happened otherwise

We're taking the dogs to get pictures with Santa. Let's see if they go any better than last year. Lol

Shop now while you can still make good decisions!

Liverpool’s nightmare season now features Mo Salah drama: defector.com/liverpools-n...

We thought we'd need Voight-Kampff tests, but we're probably going to use something like Uber driving ratings to figure out if a thing is a robot or the product of robots.

With alt text. This is Vance-ism/Theil-ism more than Trumpism, though it works well for Donald, too, because it puts him in the position to try to lord over each head of state, which is all he really cares about.

I'm convinced one of the reasons we love the Beatles so much is that we have so few stories about evolving, intense male friendship.

me - “Ahhh, I shall sleep in this Sunday morning, for once I have no super early soccer game and I can relax.” my body - HAHA WAKE UP DIPSHIT IT’S 6:45

BLEAK. I need to know more about the conviction, but it makes sense that it came under Biden at the end of 2024. We need a long national debate about what a foreign policy built on the values of freedom and democracy looks like in real time.

Girls usually don’t massacre people, therefore massacres are the manly thing to do

This branch of the culture has totally lost the idea of masculine virtue being defined against vices that are also masculine

Knives out 3 was wonderful

as usual this did not work, nor did "do something you want to do only slightly less than you don't want to do the thing", but "take your ADHD meds and finish the five-minute task you've been procrastinating on all day" remains undefeated as a tactic

I've learned from @500songspodcast.bsky.social that after Sgt. Pepper, just about every band did their own Sgt. Pepper's, except the Beatles, who'd just done their Pet Sounds. But as someone who lost the story of the Beach Boys between Pet Sounds and Kokomo, I'm in awe of how far out they got.

A crew harvests and packages the last grapes of the season in the Central Valley. In a few weeks time, the leaves will have fallen off of this vineyard and another crew will be back here pruning and shaping the vines for next year. #WeFeedYou

Don’t sleep on Rep Casten as a communicator. Bitcoin explainers via Beverly Hills Cop is what we Gen Xers were born to do.

kind of a blah sign off to ESPN's eight years of Formula 1 coverage

“TM, AI, and the Future of Cybersecurity” If this talk is anything more than "I do TM and also work in AI and cybersecurity," like Mike Love doing a "TM and Surf Rock" talk, I'm very worried.

Is this s schnauzer in sunglasses?!?

FYREFEST founder Billy McFarland finally managed to organize a party. He announced in Nov plans to rent a private island to host a festival called “PHNX” (pronounced phoenix, do you get it?), with French Montana headlining. FYRE Festival ticket holders (from 2017) were offered free entry.

This is hell, but I planned it, I sawed it, I nailed it, and I will live in it until it kills me. I can nail my left palm to the left-hand crosspiece but I can’t do everything myself. 1 need a hand to nail the right, a help, a love, a you, a wife.

Anyone who names a son after his father after Bobby Kennedy Jr. should not be allowed to have his own wallet.

smdh the uk stops at nothing when it comes to persecuting trans women

Calling everything a hoax works up until the point that doing so reminds your fans everyday, dozens of times, that you’re lying to them about the most stressful/important thing in their economic lives.

All built on a national pride of repelling one Russian invasion whilst always expecting another.

Well, if that’s coming from a senior government official…

Good morning Bluesky! I let myself sleep in before #coffeewithhunter What's everybody drinking?

I’ve been waiting for an article like this: what really happened at the border under Biden, and why? Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

sometimes someone reposts something I don't even remember writing, and I am amused by my own words

Unsurprisingly, procrastinating all day has not made the thing I need to do spontaneously resolve itself. Maybe if I procrastinate another half hour it will?

Nobody has been hoisted quite as substantially by their own petard

Heads up, if you use an Abbott FreeStyle continuous glucose monitor, visit www.freestylecheck.com/us-en/home.h... to see if your specific device is under recall

There needs to be a word for the quirky local institution that somehow gets national attention and seizes that by selling out to HMS to crop up in random B-tier airports. Anyhow why is there a Voodoo Doughnuts in the Nashville airport

NYC City Council is holding a hearing on Monday at 10am for the council’s Immigration Committee. On the docket: Collecting testimony in support of the NYC Trust Act, which builds on NYC’s Sanctuary City laws by allowing those whose rights have been violated by illegal NYPD-fed collaboration to sue.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Marjorie Taylor Greene compared MAGA dead-enders to battered wives I wrote about how House Republican women are dangerously close to figuring out that MAGA exists to control them.

$1500/mo is less than my mortgage and the number of ways to play spoiler for an uncontrolled social experiment is essentially an infinite source of entertainment. Sign me up, I bet I could destroy utopia inside of a fiscal quarter

It’s been the way for years. Arxiv is full of junk papers and has been for nearly a decade. Everyone claiming they’ve “published” a paper and it’s all hand waving and not even a shred of rigor, let alone anything resembling a real proof.

I have not to be annoyed when the response to any poll is "But 29% (or whatever) is still TOO MANY" because 1)Sure, it is too many. But. 2) Do we have to have a footnote about the power of propaganda feeding on the US' legacy biases every time we post a poll? Because I can't! So this is it.

Newsom's morality is his problem. So the only case for him is that "HE CAN WIN." Much of this lies in his white male bland handsomeness. Centrists think that solves Dems' "cultural issues." What this gets wrong is that 2028 must be about corruption. And he's on the opposite side of that.

Probably smart for any Republican who wants to rid himself of Hegseth's vicious bumbling to focus on the utter incompetence of Signalgate, since Trump generally doesn't fire people for what he hired them to do. In Hegseth's case: kill civilians.

I love this random exoplanet youtuber who starts all of his videos like "for those of you who've been living under a ROCK" and then talks about the most obscure shit.

true crime podcasters should have a clearance rate except if you’re not able to solve the crime you’re not allowed to do more podcasts

Counter proposal: public hangings of tech billionaires.

Sarah, to me: Babe, go out and have a cigarette, there's a fire truck and two cop cars blocking in a SUV at the light and I wanna know what's happening.

Final play of the ACC championship, as called: ESPN Deportes / Duke radio (D. Shumate) / UVA radio (J. Freeman) / ESPN radio (M. Kestecher)

Yeah, general strategy. Right now I’m just letting my knights gallop across the board, recklessly, and managing to get my queens killed off no matter what I do
